What is Asch?

Asch (Symbol: XAS) is a distributed application system based on side-chain technology. Despite being based on an Ethereum-like model, Asch is built with the purpose of making creators' life much easier: accepting JavaScript as a development language or help DBMS save the transaction data, all of these approaches make DApp development like traditional website application, which is certainly appealing to creators and SMEs. It is supposed that the whole platform's ecosystem will be developed sustainably only when developers productivity could enhance. Also, Asch is an open system which does not only pay attention to a certain area such as finance, document storage, or copywriting proof but also on providing a list of underlying and abstract APIs, which can be merged and used to realize almost every kind of applications. Moreover, Asch system used enhanced DPOS algorithm in its consensus mechanism to substantially limit the likelihood of block fork and the risk of duplicate payment. Most importantly, Asch's sidechain-is-application mode cannot only alleviate issues relating blockchain inflation but also make DApps more resilient and characteristic. In short, Asch is a potential, low-cost, one-stop solution that is surely able to be the incubator of next generation distributed application.
